Clean Eating Adventure

It’s time to hit the reset button. The holidays have passed. A new year has begun. And physically, I feel like hell. Confession time. After eating in moderation, watching my portions, working out diligently, and even following Weight Watchers for months, I literally went crazy after my sister-in-law’s wedding on Dec 27th, no holds barred, no workouts, eating anything I wanted. Now here I am 2 weeks later, feeling drained with zero energy. And to add to my sob story: the pants that were loose on me last month are way too tight. In just 2 weeks. Incredible.

It’s time to get back to business with some good, wholesome, produce-filled meals. Come along with me for the next 2 weeks as I find my way back to a healthy lifestyle with gluten-free and vegan clean eating recipes. It will be an adventure for sure!

Free of refined carbs, sugar, and processed foods

Meat and dairy free

Drink a lot of water

Eating clean can be a bit of an adjustment, which is why I’m here to share some delicious and easy recipes for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. These recipes are even keepers if you’re not following a clean eating plan.
